You make a good point Rob.
I'm going to assume it was a 'compromise' of sorts with the 'powers that be' to make up for their private prison industries financial losses / the war on drugs.
In this country it has been made very clear that profits of corporations come before any other consideration. So, perhaps when these corporations who have a stranglehold on the 'free market' bounce back from their private prison industries financial losses then it will be possible to do away with the 'tax'.
Pretty sure we pay 'normal' taxes on pharmaceuticals instead of 'sin' taxes so I do see your point and agree it is unfair.
